WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 17, 1842 A POOR TRICK. ' The Statesman in aid of iu unjust denunciations against the Whig members of the Legislature, makes a copious extract from the Cincinnati Republican, and attempU to palm off the sontimcnts therein expressed upon the public as the opinions of a H'hig editor. The Cincinnati Republican a Whig paper, indeed! Quiln, when will you give over lying? You knew that was a falsehood, when you made the declaration! Yon know that the editor of that paper was and is a Loco Foco of the first miltr. You knew that he was loafing about the lobbies of the Legislature, during the winter session, beseeching the party to apppoint him to some office i and we know that this is not tho first time he has edited a a Loco Foco paper. No claims can be brought in favor of that paper being connected with the Whig party, except that it is servilely attached to John Tyler, which in Die present aspect of things ia of itself proof of its opposition to the Whigs and devotion to Loco Focoism. Sam will next bo quoting from the Old School Republican to prove tlmt public sentiment is adverse to Ihe Whigs. The Whigs do not look for the approbation of their enemies. If they were to receive it, they would have reason to suspect that something was wrong. They look to tho people for support, and appearances indicate unerringly that they will not look in vain. " EQUAL AND EXACT JUSTICE TO AM. MEN." This truly democratic sentiment of an illustrious man, is as familiar as "house-hold words" in the cant phrases of Loco Focoism. But how do they live up to it? Let Byington's hill of abominations exemplify their system of " faith without works." The counties of Franklin, Madison, Champaign, Logan, and Miami stretching out in on oblique and angular form an hundred miles in length, whilst at one place in the center, it is not over tight miles in breadth, and composing tho 17th district in that bill, gave in 18-10, a Whig majority of HTS.MS.f.11 Seven Loco Foco Districts to wit: the 2d, 3d, 4th, flh, 10th, 12th. and 14r.li gavo altogether a majority of 1,(127! less than hulf the Whig majority in a single district Again ; the aggregate majority in all this districts is only 4710. A singlo Whig district, the 5th, composed of Lake, Cuyahoga and Ashtabula, gave a Whig majority of 480;!!! This realises what Loco Focoism means by " equal and trad justice." A littlo moro of it would havo reduced the Whig portion of a delegation of 21 members, representing a majority of 20,000, to three or four, as McNulty and his co-adjutors threatened it would be last winter. effect consummating thai tvrong, by enabling the corrupt demagogues who devised it to fulfil their vile and tyrannous purpose of giving to the Locofoco par ty, even ll in a minority exceeuuig ij,uuu in tun State, FOURTEEN Representatives in Congress, during the next ten years, while Die Whigs would hove but SEVEN. He showed that the reason why the Legislature did not, as in 1822, pass a bill t'n three days, and go home, was, because they could not agree as to the division of the spoils among themselves all agreed to despoil the Whigs, who are certainly in a large majority in the State, but it was difficult to suit every one who was anxious at the same time to secure a district. Finilly, in Tin Pan. it wan resolved to select a committee to frame a bill, and every member wns understood to have pledged himself, or taken an oath, BEFOREHAND, to "GO IT ltLIND,"orvole for the bill, WHATEVER IT MIGHT BE, when it was brought befure the House! Freemen ! patriots ! honest men ! Christians ! what think you of such a system of settling and reconciling differences among legislators? What think you of such legislation? A midnight conclave, under tho domination of a few desperate wretches and vilo political deniagrgues, scttlm", decreeing, (in ettect) passing, "GOING IT BLIND!" what should have been arranged in open Houho, by free discussion, and under the unshackled dictates of conscience and of justice ! But we have not space, at present, to speak fully upon this matter. We can hut add: That Mr. Olds exhibited several of tho districts proposed to bo formed cut out in paper, to exhibit the gross violation of the law of Congress which the majority were about forcing them to assist in perpetrating, and which somo of their own pnrty denounced as utterly lliueieiisiuio auu nirutioue, uus mm u inejr were compelled, though unwillingly, lo vote for! These figures presented such strange and ludicrous outlines of real and anomalous animals, as to excite considerable merriment : as, for instance, theGiraffo, or the ltith district, which embraced the counties of Scioto, Lawrence, Gallia, Meigs, Athens, and Washington, stretching along tho Ohio river about 250 miles. The whole bill abounds with similar districts, and presents a rare fund for humorous devices and caricatures. We have to say to our friends in other parts, that the course of the Whig members of the Legislature is warmly ana enttmsiasticaiiy applauded nero, and that the exposure of the enormities of the Locofoco majority will add immensely to the overwhelming defeat, at the next election, of tho unprincipled loaf ers who had combined to suppress tho true voice of the People of Ohio in the INittional Legislature. Our Representative will be most triumphantly sua. .aincd. A DIGNIFIED PRESIDING OFFICER. When the venerable Col. Chambers, of Musking um, tendered his resignation to tho Sicaker of the House of Representatives, the hononble Rufus P. Spalding, which he did by placing it in his hands in person, at Ins desk, that gentleman threw it contempt uously upon the floor, and exclaimed in an angry manner : Pit have nothing to do retro you or your resignation VU have no communication withyou what- ever. This is only a singlo specimen of his intemperate and vulgar conduct Upon the adjournment in March, Mr. Fuller, the Whig Representative from Lake, consented to otrer the usual complimentary resolution to tho Speaker. Mr F. was among tho resigning members, and after the occurrences of Thursday morning, he applied to Shaker Spalding for a cert ficate of his attendance during tho session, upon which he could draw his per diem allowance at the Treasury. Spalding blurted out in reply, " No, sir ril give no dd disorganiicr a certificate !" To others he was most disgustingly profane, and swearing so often that he would not givo members their certificates, it was finally found necessary to employ the Clerk to perform that duty in his behalf. Such are the exhibitions and beauties of Locofo-coism ! What a pity it is that the Whigs should have spoilt his Congressional District! Ho would have done great honor to Ohio, at Washington. MESSRS. POWELL'S AND UPDEGRAFFS SPEECHES. Tho spirited remonstrances of these gentlemen gninatthe bill to disfranchise the independent electors of Ohio, will not escape tho attention of our readers to-day.

Thnt the people of Ohio havo a rirjht to ilemund and receive from the Legislature of their State, a system of banking, whicli, whilo it protects the bill holder from loss, shall invite the investment of real copital by the offer of fair and reasonable in ducements to those who have it lo invest and tlmt we esteem the plan for a State Hank recommended by Gov.

At a large and respectable Meeting of the Whigs of Cleveland, held at the Court House lust evening, pursuant to prev luus notice, on motion ol J. VY.

Brigga was appointed Secretary. 1 lie objects ol the Meeting Having been stated by the Chair, at the ropiest of Uie audience, tho Secretary read the Address of the Whig Senators nd Representatives, who resigned their scats in the Legislature, to Iho people of Ohio, which Ad- rcss was received with much applause. Alter Uio reading ot tho Address, the Hon. Sea- bury Ford, was called for. Mr. F. came forward nd took the stand, and lor an hour held the undivided attention of the auilicnco while he gavo an able and powerful exiose of tlio causes which led lo the late resignation at Columbus. Mr. Ford said that a few days ago ho was the Senator from this district and be now was one ot Uie Sovereign reople, Having resigned his high treat into tho hands from which he received it ilo said he could no longer hold it without doing violence to his own conscience and sciuo ol duty, and injury to the people.

Tho excellent and candid speech of Senator Ford, was well received, and ho wus frequently interrupted by luud applause. Alter Mr. ford nan taxen nia seat, ill r. Thomas M. Kolley, our late Representative was called for, and ho addressed his fellow citizens for about half an hour, upon tho action of the of the I egiehiture du ring Uie Extra Session. His statements fully confirmed those made by Mr Ford. Mr. K. referred ui Uie unjust apportionment mado for Senators and Representatives in our own niaio, auucieuriy pruvcu that bv Tin Pan h-irialution a portion nf tho freemen of Ohio had been disfranchised, and deprived of their just rights: and no could not Ml hy, and see Uicin deprived of their rights for future years, and he therclore resigned his place, and becamo a private t ml he naa enlisted uiiring tno war. On motion, a committee of three, consisting of J, W. Allen, C. Whltlesev, and J. A. Ilriggs, were sp-pointed U prepare resolutions cxpressivu of Uie senso of the meeting 1 ho committee reported the following, which on motion, wore adopted without a dissenting voico. Resolved, That the bill reported In Ihe House of Representatives of the Ohio legislature, on Wednesday lust for the formation of Congressional Dis tricts, was, in the opinion of this Meeting, ineiiuitablo unjust and anti-democratic ; apparently contrived lor the sole purpose ot olevating certain aspiring mem bers of the Legislature lo seats in Congress, and to slille and suppress tho voice of a huge majority of conduct and repudiation for Uiemselves, had they done otherwise, Thai Locotbcoiam, in all its properties and tendencies, is destructive to every element of Individual, State and National prosperity Uint in its late attempt to provide high places for mere party hacks, Uiemselves to aid in forming an anti-Tariff, and anti- American maiority in Congress to legislate lor uie benefit of British capital and labor to the destruction of our own, it has filled to overflowing the bittercup of its iniquities, and we pledge ourselves not to cease to war upon it till it shall be powerless to do evil. That we call upon Uio true friends of the Constitution and of the equal rights of the people throughout the Buckeye State, lo organize generally and minutely and promptly and efficiently, lor the coming contest and to adopt all honorable means to rescue the Government from the hands of men who have nroved Uiemselves utterly unfit to manage it from their entire want of common sense, common honesty, or of knowledge adapted to Uieir stations; to the end Umt it may be put under the control of men who will act so as best to subscrvo, not their own selfish pur poses, but the interests of tho whole people and Uio honor and welfare of tho State. During tho absence of the committee, R. Hitchock, of Painesville was called for and made a short but spirited address. The following resolutions presented by J. W. Allen, were adopted by acclamation. Jtesolved, Hint John Tyler, oy repeatedly interposing his will against that of the People, as expressed by their Representatives on bills involving no constitutional questions, acts in defiance of the spirit of Uie Constitution as expounded by its makers, and of tho principles of the party that elected him. Thut according to our understanding of the Constitution, the power of legislation is vested exclusive ly in Congress, and when the president undertuKcs to control it by tho exercise of the Veto, excepting so fur as to see that the Constitution is not violated, he steps as widely from the line of his duty as would Congress, should that body undertake to supervise the act ion of tho President in Uie Executive Depart ment ol the Government That ns the Constitution vests in tho House of Representatives the exclusive power to originate revenue bills nnd as the Tariff hill lust vetoed was a revenue bill the President hud not even tho color of right in the ahsenco of constitutional objections, to arrest it and in doing so, he arbitrarily substituted his own will for that of tlio people virtually viola ted his oath of office, and justly subjected himself to our condemnation.

Our friend, Robert Tyler, son and Private Secre tary of the President, was here a few days since, very deeply engaged in political arrangements and negotiations. In one of his conferences with certain Loco-Foco managers, he innocently nnd modestly observed Uiat his father would submit his claims for a re election to n Democratic .Vational Convention. Tho Kinderhookers screwed their faces into an agonizing solemnity during the brief remainder of tho conference, but the way they guffawed as soon as they got out of sight was positively dangerous. Happily, no blood-vessels expiodcii t. inbuilt. ihe people. That our Senator nnd Representative, in resigning hack to us the power received from us, and thereby saving their consiitiienls from the disgraco ol neiiii made parties to a Gerrymandering Apiortiiiinieut Law, ore entitled to our thanks and gratitude, as they would havo deserved condemnation for their ditlrict, end tho district in which we live, iho " Mirhigan and AcnH'cA y " district, because ll extends Irom uie iaae lo wunin about Ibrly miles of die Ohio Kivcr a disiancc of over 2U0 miles, and is ou an avcrago nui mucn over zu mues wiue. " Oh I whiggery, where are thy charms T " where thy consistency ? It would be an endless task, much like Uie work of Sisyphus, to keep up with Uie Loco Focos and correct their thousand lies and misrepresentations. Still it seems incumbent upon ua to some extent to do so, nd we shall not shrink Irom Uie performance of our duty. The above extract is from a letter from Montgom ery county, published in tho Statesman. It hints at the only argument we have yet heard from the Loco Focos, to justify their outrageous attempt to Gerrymander the State, viz : That the Whigs did the same thing in 1632. Byington was the only man in the Legislature who ventured to open his lips in the House, in defence of his infamous bill, and he put it upon the ground Uiatthe Whigs had been guilty of something of the same sort ten years ago. In reply to these charges against the Whigs in 1832, it may be remarked, firstly, Uiat we novor understood before, that any great diasatiefuclion existed in Ihe Ntate with the manner in whicli it was districted at that time. However Uiat may be, it is well known that for several years Uie delegations in Congress from Ohio were largely Jackson, and even as late as 1H38, the Van Burcn party elected eleven of the members, whilst the Whigs secured but eight. These facts of Uiemselves would prove conclusively that there was no effort made in JB3S, by the Whigs to apportion Uie State for party purposes. But in the second place, there was no law of Con gress requiring the State Legislature to lay out Uie listricts in a " compact form and ol " contiguous territory, as at present and Uiough jerrymandering two yeara since would have been wrong in a moral view, it would not have been in open and contemptuous violation of Uio law of tho land, as at present In acting contrary to the act of Congress, the Loco Focos ottomptcd to nullify tho supremo law of the land, obedience to which is the first duty of all a charge that cannot be brought aguiust Uie Legislature of 1KB. But what is a little more conclusive on the subject, and scatters tins semblance of an argument to tho fimr winds of heaven, is the fact 'bat tho Whigs in ilia Icinlnhiro of IK 12 did not district the State. The Whies had Uio majority, it is true, and might exceedingly horrified nt tho "awful effects of havo done it could thev have agreed to net together Iff'! organization." (We stipposo Ihe Statesman and in harmony. But they did not The bill which could copy this wiUiout laughing in his sleeve.) Was it supposed that the Whigs would be deterred from saving Uio State from the flagitious Gerryman dering, because if Uie session was terminated sud denly, other objects might bo defeated ? If any such hopes were entertained, it will havo been seen how futile they were. The groat business of Uie Extra Session, was Uio apportionment of Uie State. After nearly three weeks of bargaining, buying, selling, giving, taking and Tin Panning, the monstrous and iniquitous schemo which was to limit uie Whigs to seven members in the next Congress, was brought forth all conflicting interests were adjusted among Uio aspirants Borlloy, Taylor, Faran, Walton, La-Uiam, and Spanglcr of the Senate, McNulty, Jen kins, Byington, Alc. &c, in Uie House were provided with districts, and the bill was ready to pass not another hour was to be lost by delay. Had the Whigs hesitated, Uie free people of Uie State of Ohio would have been sacrificed upon the altar of Loco Focoism. The deed would have been done ! But Uie Whigs were not to be ensnared by any of the devices of their enomics. They were disposed to accept of Mr. SpangleHa bill, Uiough that did them great injustice. Farther than that thoy could not consent to go. And that is now the question before the people. It is the great question not to be blinked or covered up by side issues. Did the Whigs do rightly to resign, to prevent Uie unexampled injus tice contemplated by Byington's bill ? Did they do wrong, whon they refused their assent to a measure, intended to defraud the people of Ohio out of Uieir rights as freemen ? Did Uicy do wrong in referring Uiis whole matter bock to Uie people again for their decision ? These are the questions to be decided at the ballot boxes ! To Uiat decision, whatever it may be, we shall bow. If the Whigs have erred inUicir endeavors lo protect the people's rights, Uie people themselves will administer Uio proper correctives. If they havo acted as became tho Representatives of a free, intelligent and patriotic constituency, Uiey will bo sustained Let Uiero be no skulking in this matter. Come out, Mr. Statesman, and defend Byington's bill of abominations. The Whigs openly proclaim that they resigned to prevent your consummation of Uiat odious and profligate scheme. They will not shrink from the true issue. Meet them face to face, if you dare ! ' Awful HII.-C1." "Hhndotr.," Ac The Statesman copies an article from the Cincin- Inati Microscope, (which is at the same lime endorsed as " strictly neutral " in its politics,) in which Uie resignation of the Whigs in the Legislature is paint ed in Uio most lugubrious colors. The Microscope Motlest Aunnsnee Sam Mcdary, the Bank Destructive, Uie lying demagogue, Uie supporter of Porr, asks every "reason-able Whig " to examine Uie subject of Uie resignation of tho members of the Legislature, and " with his hand upon his heart say if he can lend his countenance" to the measure and its consequences, the establishment of " mob law." Get out, you scullion ! A modest request, truly. When have you ever before been in Uie habit of treating Whigs as "reasonable " beings, or, indeed, as having any rights in Uie community as Uie citizens of a free country ? The Whig! know what they are about and when they want any of your advice, they will ask for it An Error- Correct It, In a portion of our edition containing Uie proceedings of Uie public meeting in. this city, on Uio evening following Uie resignation of Uie Whig members, Uie name of Jason Stroator, of Portage, is inserted as Isaac Stroator. Mr. Btreator ia too good a Whig to be robbed of one particle of the honor so justly his duo, for his part in preventing the great Loco Foco fraud, and those papers which may copy those proceedings, are requested to make the correction. Jason is Uie right man. FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 111, 1842. SJoures, It docs not appear certainly whether any further attempt will be made on Uie part of Congress, to establish a rate of duties on foreign goods, at the present session, but Uiere is reason to believe from Uie National Intelligencer of Monday, Uiat the prospect of a renewed effort is faint- We are glad to hear this. Congress hus dune its duty. We have had our fears that in the extremity to which it has been reduced by a faithless and usurping Chief Magistrate, it might be tempted to compromise its own honor and tho public liberty. The Executive should be left to stand under Uie high responsibilities ho has so reck lessly assumed. Let hun " fast and pray n a season. For the Ohio Stale Journal. KENYON COLLEGE Zakesville, Aug.!), 1812. Mr. EntToR : The position Uiat Ohio holds among her sister Spites, must bo a source of joy and honest pride to her inhabitants. Who can travel through her borders, and not bo impressed with the ides of her present and future gronlncsi ? Her grand natural resources, hor internal improvements, and more Uian all Uie spirit of intelligence Uiat pervades her population, are tho sure and certain signs of her coming glory. Already she ranks as third in the fa mily ot fttaies, and who sa)s that at no instant day, time shall not chronicle her as the first in all things pre-eminent and proudly glorious? Such, Mr. Ed- tor, are Uie thoughts that press uiion tno nnnd ol Uie attentive and enquiring traveller. 1 lor thousand vil lages Uiat seem to huvo sprung up in a night hor benevolent institutions, scattering light and love where all before was darkness and distress, and her numerous colleges and seminines, so useful in disseminating knowledge, and allording such facilities for its acquisition, are subjects that awaken a deep nnd lasting interest in Uio hearts of all Uie philanthropists, and lovers of learning.

Tho advantagus and parental benefits derived from Uiis system are obvious. With regard to the performancce al Uio Commencement they wore all highly complimentary, both to the graduates and Uie liistituliuu. It may perhaps seem invidious to specify individuals by name. But lot merit have its due t and to the Youths who delivered the I'hilnsophicnl Oration, tho Greek passed was a compromise measure between a minor. ity of tho Whigs and a majority ol the Jackson men. On its passage, Uie majority of tho Whigs voted ngainst it and Uio majority of the Jackson party in its favor. So that if thcro was any (lerrymandering done, it ia chiefly to be attributed to the samo party which now stands charged before the pcoplo with Uie slime offence a Uiousand fold aggravated, and this weak endeavor to justify what was designed now by what was effected then, fails of involving Uie Whig party in Uie " fatal precedent" In the paragraph quoted above, ono ot the speak ers is represented lo have contrasted the apportion ment of 1832 with the bill of 1812 If he did so, tho party must hove blushed for Uio difference. Tho labor of passing Uie bill of 18,12, was despatched in thrco days. Tho wholo session lusted but a week, and in liiut tints Uio Stato was districted for Con gress, and apportioned for the election nf members of the General Assembly fifteen other acts and several resolutions, were passed also. e don t be lieve Mr. King contrasted the working disposition nf that Legislature with Uie one Uiat has jost dispersed. The State ratio in 1832, was 4!,257. The Legis a-turn of Uiat year found no great difficulty in approxi mating tho several districts to that ratio, ao nearly at to leave but little ground of complaint We state tho population of somo of Uiem in round numbers. 1st district 52,000 ; 2d da, 4 1,000; 4lh da, 4:,000; 5lh da, 50,000; fith do 51,000; 7Ui da, 52,000 ; 8Ui do., 51,000; Uth do., 51,000; 10th da, 50,000; Hill da, 411,000; 12th da, 50,000; 13th da, 51,000; Mill do, 50,000; 18th da, 50,000. Tho others varied somewhat more. The 3d contained 4 1,000; the loth 42,000; the Kith, 511,000; Uie P.lth, 43,000; and the 17th, Columbiana county, contained but 35,000. WiUi this last exception, which was agreed tiin by common consent the most of Uie districts appear to have contained as neur Uio precise amount of population required, as it was possiblo to have given them. Was it ao with Byington's bill ? The district which Mr. King so wittily "dubbed the sea serpent, con tained then a population of 51,551 an excess of 2,- 2115. How was it in Byington's bill? Why, the population was run up to 85,7ti8, and Uie exceas was 12,413! And that too, whilst Uie adjoining district in Byington's bill) was reduced to (17,754, and tho population nf Scioto, 11,1112, would have very noarly equalized the two districts, if that county had been taken off from one and added to Uie omer. Mr. King also " dubbed " the district in which he lives Uio ".UirAiganrmo! Kentucky" district because it was somcUiing " liko two hundred miles lu length, How Mr. King could have altered it for Uie better, the letter writor wisely omits to sny. It was coin posed of Montgomery and Miami counties, which then had a population of 37,058, whilst all Uie re inaindor of Uie district, comprising the larger part of Uio NorUi-Wcat Territory, though nearly " two hundred miles in length" added but 7,5:12 to that number. More Uian half the population, was in Montgomery alone, to wit 21,252 Wo . havo bestowed mora attention upon these quibblcrs Uian they deserve. Still they have merited somo noUce at our hands, becauso what Uiey have said only betrays the weaknesg of Uieir cause, and sets in a stronger light before Uie community, Uie enormous wrongs contemplated by Byington's "6u7 of abominations.9 All wo wo want is an npKrtunity to give tho pcoplo "light" Wo fear nothing for the verdict Uiey will render in October. l'oem, and Uie Valedictory Addresses, I would say goon.

A TRAVELER IIoM lt to ll No Mmtklni! The Loco Foco editors, orators, and leaders are already dodging Ihe question at issue between Uia two parties in the legislature. They soem In know, as if by instinct that their unholy scheme of grrry-mandering will not bear investigation, and that the people will not sustain thorn in their wicked attempt to nullify Uie act of Congress, and to secure two. thirds of Uie delegation in Uie next House of Rep. resentativea whilst the Whiga wero in a mnjnrily of to wt u,uuv in uie oiaio. i ncy us. re not go to uie people in an endeavor to justify that kind of legis! tion. Honco an effort ia making to draw off public attention Irom the main subject in dispute, and en gage in Uie discussion of immaterial and indifferent matters. Our friends will not be caught iu Uiat trap. Nobody knew, until after the resignation of Iho Wings, Uiat Uie two Speakers) had neglected ihoir duty in signing Uio appraisement act It was an nounced in Uio Statesman of Uie Cth inst, (Fri day of last week,) that tho appraisement bill wos a law; it was published in Uiat piper as such; nor was any thing known to Uie contrary, until after the Whiga had left their seats. Iu failure to become a law, ia alone to be attnbutcd to Uie culpable nrgli. gligenco of Uie Loco Focoa and they may divide the responsibility among thetneinacWea as they can hud it most convenient As to the loan bill, it is doubtful whether It would have nsod the Senate at any rate ; but if it would have commanded the assent of Uio tnajority of Uiat body, what exruso can be rendered by the Loco Fo. cos, for its dilatory progress Uirough the two. Hou ses f Was it pre-dctenmned to hdeh every olliat mea sure before the two 11 onset to the apportionment bill, an that If Uiat should fail, all should aliaro the same fate ? Was that tho design ? If it was, it has been successful. And whose is the responsibility? Who ever thought" exclaims Uiat paper, "Uiat early would bo soon advocate a dissolution of Uie government Who ever thought Uiat our Stato government was to be stopped in order to overthrow Uie dominant party. "If such proceedings be sanctioned by the peo ple, wo may bid good bye to all law, and clasp to our bosoms war and bloodshed such as Uie world never Baw." (Who's going to fight not the Loco Focos ; Uiey'll run first) " Wo understand Uiat this plan above mentioned, was concocted in ono of thoso secret caucuses," (wo use tho Microscope's own ital ics,) "which we adverted to but a day or two ago, viz: Uio Tin-Pan." (All a mistake, Mr. Microscope, although tho Statesman takes your reflections so coolly. Any man who should propose Uie resigns- tion of an office, which was bringing "Mrec dollars a day and roast beef," in tho J'tn-T'an, would be scouted as a renegade and worso Uian an infidel. The tin-ianncni abhor Uiut game, as much as nature dues a vacuum.) Tho Microscope has a good deal more of this ve ry flashy (if not trashy) sort of indignation and finally winds up with some very excellent advico, if Uie Whiga needed it or Uie Loco Focoa were wil ling to take it It ia quite evident that the editor is seriously excited, from Uio confused manner in whicli he gaUicrs up the King's English, and Uie dreadful pictures of blood and anarchy which affect his visual organs. For ourselves, we shall ba much inclined to take his warnings in good part, if ono question can be answered to our satisfaction; and as we do not exchango with his paper, we must commission the Statesman to communicate our inquiry and re port bnck tho answer. Tho M icroscope cannot havo overlooked Uio resolutions that were introduced aim ultaneniisly into the two Houses on Uie very first day of tho session, deliberately pronouncing a law of Congress, as null, void, and of no binding obliga tion, or effect and declaring Uiat Uie Legislature would not be bound by one of iu most important sections, in the transaction of the business for which Uie session was chiefly held, if a departure from the same should be found expedient The Microacoie must also have aeon, that Uiis resolution paased ono House by a strict parity voir I and if it watched Uie reported proceodinga closely, or was in Uio way e)f obtaining private intelligence from Columbus, it may have learned Uiat the only reason why Uio same resolution did not pass the oUior branch, was that one of the political majority faltered in iu support from an apprehension that it might be made Uie instru ment of dividing hia county, or atuching it to some doublo district contrary to hia wishes. No what wo want to know ia this: Whether Uio Microscope saw any danger lo our republican institutions in and mere party influences and measures aa Uicao; and whether, in view of a threatened nullification of law of Congress by t State Legislature, it raited ils warning voico in denunciation of such revolutionary and disorganizing proceedings, and predicted in their success Uio extinction of ordor, and the dissolution of Uio Union ? If it did not, we do not regard its boisterous strictures upon Uie course of Uie resign ing Whigs, a Picayune s inrth !

To the Speaker of tht Senate I Sir: I have received your letter of Uiis date, informing me Unit the Senate of which you are the presiding ollicer, is without a quorum of members ; and Uiat this condition of Uiat body has been produced by a tender of resignation, and wiUidrawal from the chamber, of a sufficient number of membcre to reduce the Scnato to less than two Uiirds of iu whole number. I havo received a communication, also, from tho Stcukor of Uie House of RepreaenlaUves, which advises me that from Uio same causes, that body ia wiUiout a constitutional number of members. You inquire of me whether I would consider such attempt at resignation as creating vacancies, and if so, w hcUier I design to order elecuons to fill said vacancies prior to Uie general election in October next I am informed by your letter, that "tho two Houses are awaiting for my reply, to know what course is propor for Uicin to pursue." If, from any cause whatever, a sufficient number of members M not in attendance to constitute a quo-ruin, it ia very clear Uiat I can nlTlke no official com-municaUon to the remaining members, touching the questions you have suggested, or any other mnttcr of public interest By Uie constitution of Ohio, less than a quorum can sit for the purpose of compelling Uie attendance of aosrnl members, and whether there are such absent members, is obviously a queation which Uio remaining members of oach branch of Uie Legislature must determine for themselves. In the present condition of both branchca, aa it ia not my duty, nor wiUiin my power, to advise, in my official character. Any viows of mine, expressed in reply to your letter, could only be regarded in the light of an individual opinion, and not as a nrrasngo from Uie Executive department and would not, therefore, be regarded by yourself or others, as furnishing to Uiose present any ollicial information, touching Uieir own acUon, in lha present emergency. The right lo resign a scat in tho General Assembly seems to havo been considered, heretofore, rut unquestionable. Whether, however, audi right exists, and if so, in what form it is to be consummated, are questions which Icsa than a quorum may decide for themselves, and must decide, ( should suppose, aa a necessary preliminary lo any coercive measure to compel attendance. From a very hasty, and to myself, by no mcana a satisfactory consideration of Uie subject I should not doubt but that the. Benin mips- tions, so far aa Uiey might affect the personal liberty of those subjected to the action of less Uian a quorum of either branch, niighl bo brought for decision before Uie judicial courta of tho State. In conclusion, I can assure you that when I shall be advised, by any information on which I ahall deem it my duty to act officially, I ahall Uien consider Uie subject more fully, and dntenmno for myself, what course Uie consUtuUon and lawa of the Suto require me to pursue. Very respectfully, Your ohedient servant THOMAS CORWIN. Pnnllo Mentlmenl. We surrender a large portion of our paper to-day lo Uie demonstrations of public sentiment as they come to us Uirough Uie medium of the press, and Uie resolutions of public meetings. We havo the proceodinga of a large and spirited meeting at Chilli-cothe on our fllea for insertion, as also the doings of Iho "TEN THOUSAND" at Xeniaon Saturday, busidea expressions of Ihe Whig press most cordially approving of Uie course of Uio resigning members, which we design also for an insertion as early aa possible. Nothing can be more gratifying than Uie spirit and enthusiasm every where displayed by Uie people, whose righU have been presorved to them by the decisivo and honorable stand taken by Uioso who truly represented Ihem. The dissolution of the Legislature ia every where hilled aa t joyful ovent and cannot fail of being most triumphantly sustained I Msrtt nnsl Wocee llerroe npon norrorl The resignation of offct grows more and inure appalling to Uie Loco Focoa. When the Whiga of the Legislature first resigned Uieir places, the Statesman denounced It as " fifeouionary." Since the oditor has had more time for reflection, and for consultation with book authorities and with his friends, ho discovers Uiat it involves " IVriunn " and " Con-spirary!" "Who'd havo thunk it!" The Sham Mob Mr. Pnrens Rousms-ks. The Statesman of yesterday pretends Uiat our re port of Mr. Furan'a farewell speech ia incorrect, and republishes that part of iu own rejiort, which refers to the crowd at Uie State House, on Thursday morn ing, There is some difference in Uie phraseology, but none in the spirit We have aa much confidence in Uie accuracy of our own reporter as in Uie Statesman's, but nevertheless are willing to give Mr. Fa ran the benefit of the moat favorable construction Uiat can be put upon what ho did say. The following is Uie Statesman's version : " Besides, I would refer lo B proceeding that was witness-, cd by the most of you Uiis morning, and which could not but have caused every Henalor regret who witnessed il. The (feneral Assembly of this Slate, silling in Chillieolhe, selected this plaeo aa a ptopcr one for die Legislature lo hold ils meel-ing ol. It was done under the impression dial Iho LegislaUve functions of die Genera! Assembly could be hero coudocled in peace, and without interruplion. Whether Ibis has been accomplished, is a matter of doubt. An ollicer of Uiis Gen- cral Assembly, in die discharge of an order properly directed to him, hus been insulted by a mob in die eapitol of Ohio, while some of die ciliseiu of Ibis place gave apparent countenance lo the disorderly proceeding. If die legitimate functions of eidicr branch cannot be carried on ill this place, without being disturbed by mobs ) or if the legitimate orders of either branch - lirecled to the proier ollicer, cumiul no execuicu wiuioui ine . ifbrcr bcine- insulted and assailed bv a mob, it is then hieh lime lo iiiiniire tvhethur another place should not bo asserted for the seal of Government. This will have to be determined by a future Legislature." We perceive nothing in the above that differs es sentially from the quotation in our article of Tues- ay on Uus subjoct Wo have nothing to retract therefore. There was no mot, we assert again no attempt to frustrate Uie Sergeant at Arms in the discharge of his duty no exhibition of angry feel ings. There was a crowd, composed of all parlies, assembled for tho purpose of witnessing Uio proceed- . ings of tlio two Houses, which were expected to meet without a quorum. Nobody had anticipated Uie issue of the Speaker's warrant, or of iu service upon the resigning members, at that particular moment and place. The motive for Uio assembling of so many of our citizens, was as innocent as "mere curiosity could innke it At Uie hour of the meeting of the members, after tlio service of the Spoakcr'e writ, Ihe lobby and gallery of tho House were filled to over flowing, but Uio most perfect order was obsorvod by all present so that the remarks of Uie members and farewell address of the Speukor were heard wiUi the most entire distinctness. As soon as the adjournment took place, all dispersed again in a quiet or- ' derly, and peaceable mnnner. The pretence that Uiero was any mob, or violence of any aort, apparently countenanced by some of the citizens of this place, ' is preposterous, Bnd undeserving of notice, further than to show to what miserable expedicnU our oppo- ncnu arc reduced, and to what contemptible artifices they arc ready to stoop, to create a prejudice against Uie people of Columbus. What is Uie reason Uie Statesman takes no notice of the " mob " or rem which occurred on Friday morning, in Uie street at Uio American? Does it suppress it from the fact that it was confined exclusively to the Loco Focos themselves that a conspic uous member of Uie House, of its party, had hia nose wrung that a pistol waa produced, which had a most wonderfully tranquillizing effect upon the twenty or thirty conibatnnU engaged in a manful assault upon one man, etc. &c. That was Uie most " mob " like scene that we havo witnessed in Uie city, and we should think its details worthy a place in the columns of the Statesman, instead of its labored cfforU to provel Uiero was a " mob " where nobody suspected one, until Mr. Speaker Faran had conjured it up! Ohio lliorke. The intelligence Uiat the bill to auUiorize a new loan of $800,000, at a rate of interest which bank-' mpu only can offer, had passed one branch of Uie Legislature, had Uie effect upon the New York mnr- , kct which every one anticipated, who knew any thing about Uie condition of Uie market Ohio sixes which had been previously autionary at 711, fell off at once on Saturday to 70i. When it ia known at the city, that the bill did not become a law we are in hopes . our stocks will revivo again. The following is from Uie money article of the N. Y. Express on Monday: Mouer .Hnr&tel City Now. Saturday, P. M. The falling off in the customs within Uie lost month has been most appalling, and will when known at Washington, have a deep and abiding enect The rcccipu at Uiis custom house for the month of July, we are informed from a source in which we are as- " suretl is entitled to entire confidence, was only about two hundred thousand dollars. This comparaUvely small sum is tho receipt of ono month in the great port of Now York, where two-thirds, or fourteen of the twenty-one millions of dollars, have been Uio yearly collections from customs alone. If this is a lair portion ol Uie collections in other ports, Uien the rcccipu for July, throughout the country have been but three hundred Uiousand dollars, or about three and a half millions a year. It cannot be possible that Uiis small amount can be the pro rata portion of Uie whole receipts for twelve months; for we can easily conceive that merchanla and importers have been cautious how they introduced goods during Uie first month of tho new tariff, nevertheless it is a strong and marked change, and one that must be telt 1 no reduction ot Uie Unit to twenty per cent with tho admission of tea, coffee, and numberless other important articles free, has no doubt been Ihe cause ot Uus sudden and extraordinary lulling off in tho rcccipu of the public revenue, and ahould the mor.Uis ot August and Soptember compare in any respect to Uiat of July, the estimntoa of the Secretary of tho Treasury and of Uio Committee of Ways and Means will be altogether deficient and of no practical value. In addition to Uiis sudden diminution of recoipU Uiero will soon bo very heavy rails on the Treasury in Uie shape of debentures, aa very many articles will be exported for Uie benefit of drawback, somo of which will be again introduced at tho lower duty. Nothing is easier than to send brandies, gin, AVc. ie, to St Johns, Bermuda, or any neighboring foreign port, and to bring the samo hack for tho benefit of the difference in Uie duty. The time occupied would be small, and at the present low rate of freights tho expenso would be trifling.Except a general fall in etocka, to-day, Wall street is very quiet indeed. There is no domand for flour; the tendency ia downward, and Ihe settled opinion is, Uiat it will g.j to five dollars, although it stands now at (5,I2i and !5.25. The Aloney Market ia very abundant and the offerings at Bank very small. Within the last ten days there have been several failures of Houses that have stood high. A stoppage now seems to excite no attention whatever. The fall in Ohio Stocks is probably to be attributed to the action of the Ohio Legislature, authorizing a loan of 8800,000 10 nor cent, which will doubtlexs be sent to the market fur negotiation. We annex an extract from the money article of tho N. Y. Plcbian, (a rabid Loco Foco Dorrite paper) of Monday's date, ahowing what might have been Uie result had tho new loan bill become a law. " In State Stocks tho sales were limited and tl,a fluctuations not important excepting in Ohio sixca, which loll off 3 per cent; at this rate Uie stock of ItKiU, pays about IUi a 11 percent interest This fall was occasioned by a vote of Uie Ohio Loeieli. turn, to mako a new initio of a ten per cent stock to tno amount ni ijrHni.lHju. i he attempt will doubtless be made to negotiate it in this market but we ahould aupposo our moneyed men would look shy at Uie so. entities of states paying tat per cent for money. It Btunus on uiat line nui-iiiH, to issue bo targe an amount of new stock and at ao high a rate of interest ia very impolitic and must result in the depression of Uie Sixes to Uie lowest point of last summer, 50.

Tho people know and the rank and lie of Uieir own party know Uiat the Loco Focos went detected in a paltry, pitiful, rascally and underhanded business that Uie biters got bit and those v- ho am not pleased will. Ihe disappointment of their pip. litical expectauons, cannot deny its rigid jusUce. It I will servo for an example to all future time.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 17, 1842 A POOR TRICK. ' The Statesman in aid of iu unjust denunciations against the Whig members of the Legislature, makes a copious extract from the Cincinnati Republican, and attempU to palm off the sontimcnts therein expressed upon the public as the opinions of a H'hig editor. The Cincinnati Republican a Whig paper, indeed! Quiln, when will you give over lying? You knew that was a falsehood, when you made the declaration! Yon know that the editor of that paper was and is a Loco Foco of the first miltr. You knew that he was loafing about the lobbies of the Legislature, during the winter session, beseeching the party to apppoint him to some office i and we know that this is not tho first time he has edited a a Loco Foco paper. No claims can be brought in favor of that paper being connected with the Whig party, except that it is servilely attached to John Tyler, which in Die present aspect of things ia of itself proof of its opposition to the Whigs and devotion to Loco Focoism. Sam will next bo quoting from the Old School Republican to prove tlmt public sentiment is adverse to Ihe Whigs. The Whigs do not look for the approbation of their enemies. If they were to receive it, they would have reason to suspect that something was wrong. They look to tho people for support, and appearances indicate unerringly that they will not look in vain. " EQUAL AND EXACT JUSTICE TO AM. MEN." This truly democratic sentiment of an illustrious man, is as familiar as "house-hold words" in the cant phrases of Loco Focoism. But how do they live up to it? Let Byington's hill of abominations exemplify their system of " faith without works." The counties of Franklin, Madison, Champaign, Logan, and Miami stretching out in on oblique and angular form an hundred miles in length, whilst at one place in the center, it is not over tight miles in breadth, and composing tho 17th district in that bill, gave in 18-10, a Whig majority of HTS.MS.f.11 Seven Loco Foco Districts to wit: the 2d, 3d, 4th, flh, 10th, 12th. and 14r.li gavo altogether a majority of 1,(127! less than hulf the Whig majority in a single district Again ; the aggregate majority in all this districts is only 4710. A singlo Whig district, the 5th, composed of Lake, Cuyahoga and Ashtabula, gave a Whig majority of 480;!!! This realises what Loco Focoism means by " equal and trad justice." A littlo moro of it would havo reduced the Whig portion of a delegation of 21 members, representing a majority of 20,000, to three or four, as McNulty and his co-adjutors threatened it would be last winter. effect consummating thai tvrong, by enabling the corrupt demagogues who devised it to fulfil their vile and tyrannous purpose of giving to the Locofoco par ty, even ll in a minority exceeuuig ij,uuu in tun State, FOURTEEN Representatives in Congress, during the next ten years, while Die Whigs would hove but SEVEN. He showed that the reason why the Legislature did not, as in 1822, pass a bill t'n three days, and go home, was, because they could not agree as to the division of the spoils among themselves all agreed to despoil the Whigs, who are certainly in a large majority in the State, but it was difficult to suit every one who was anxious at the same time to secure a district. Finilly, in Tin Pan. it wan resolved to select a committee to frame a bill, and every member wns understood to have pledged himself, or taken an oath, BEFOREHAND, to "GO IT ltLIND,"orvole for the bill, WHATEVER IT MIGHT BE, when it was brought befure the House! Freemen ! patriots ! honest men ! Christians ! what think you of such a system of settling and reconciling differences among legislators? What think you of such legislation? A midnight conclave, under tho domination of a few desperate wretches and vilo political deniagrgues, scttlm", decreeing, (in ettect) passing, "GOING IT BLIND!" what should have been arranged in open Houho, by free discussion, and under the unshackled dictates of conscience and of justice ! But we have not space, at present, to speak fully upon this matter. We can hut add: That Mr. Olds exhibited several of tho districts proposed to bo formed cut out in paper, to exhibit the gross violation of the law of Congress which the majority were about forcing them to assist in perpetrating, and which somo of their own pnrty denounced as utterly lliueieiisiuio auu nirutioue, uus mm u inejr were compelled, though unwillingly, lo vote for! These figures presented such strange and ludicrous outlines of real and anomalous animals, as to excite considerable merriment : as, for instance, theGiraffo, or the ltith district, which embraced the counties of Scioto, Lawrence, Gallia, Meigs, Athens, and Washington, stretching along tho Ohio river about 250 miles. The whole bill abounds with similar districts, and presents a rare fund for humorous devices and caricatures. We have to say to our friends in other parts, that the course of the Whig members of the Legislature is warmly ana enttmsiasticaiiy applauded nero, and that the exposure of the enormities of the Locofoco majority will add immensely to the overwhelming defeat, at the next election, of tho unprincipled loaf ers who had combined to suppress tho true voice of the People of Ohio in the INittional Legislature. Our Representative will be most triumphantly sua. .aincd. A DIGNIFIED PRESIDING OFFICER. When the venerable Col. Chambers, of Musking um, tendered his resignation to tho Sicaker of the House of Representatives, the hononble Rufus P. Spalding, which he did by placing it in his hands in person, at Ins desk, that gentleman threw it contempt uously upon the floor, and exclaimed in an angry manner : Pit have nothing to do retro you or your resignation VU have no communication withyou what- ever. This is only a singlo specimen of his intemperate and vulgar conduct Upon the adjournment in March, Mr. Fuller, the Whig Representative from Lake, consented to otrer the usual complimentary resolution to tho Speaker. Mr F. was among tho resigning members, and after the occurrences of Thursday morning, he applied to Shaker Spalding for a cert ficate of his attendance during tho session, upon which he could draw his per diem allowance at the Treasury. Spalding blurted out in reply, " No, sir ril give no dd disorganiicr a certificate !" To others he was most disgustingly profane, and swearing so often that he would not givo members their certificates, it was finally found necessary to employ the Clerk to perform that duty in his behalf. Such are the exhibitions and beauties of Locofo-coism ! What a pity it is that the Whigs should have spoilt his Congressional District! Ho would have done great honor to Ohio, at Washington. MESSRS.

Alter Uio reading ot tho Address, the Hon. Sea- bury Ford, was called for. Mr. F. came forward nd took the stand, and lor an hour held the undivided attention of the auilicnco while he gavo an able and powerful exiose of tlio causes which led lo the late resignation at Columbus. Mr. Ford said that a few days ago ho was the Senator from this district and be now was one ot Uie Sovereign reople, Having resigned his high treat into tho hands from which he received it ilo said he could no longer hold it without doing violence to his own conscience and sciuo ol duty, and injury to the people.

Resolved, That the bill reported In Ihe House of Representatives of the Ohio legislature, on Wednesday lust for the formation of Congressional Dis tricts, was, in the opinion of this Meeting, ineiiuitablo unjust and anti-democratic ; apparently contrived lor the sole purpose ot olevating certain aspiring mem bers of the Legislature lo seats in Congress, and to slille and suppress tho voice of a huge majority of conduct and repudiation for Uiemselves, had they done otherwise, Thai Locotbcoiam, in all its properties and tendencies, is destructive to every element of Individual, State and National prosperity Uint in its late attempt to provide high places for mere party hacks, Uiemselves to aid in forming an anti-Tariff, and anti- American maiority in Congress to legislate lor uie benefit of British capital and labor to the destruction of our own, it has filled to overflowing the bittercup of its iniquities, and we pledge ourselves not to cease to war upon it till it shall be powerless to do evil. That we call upon Uio true friends of the Constitution and of the equal rights of the people throughout the Buckeye State, lo organize generally and minutely and promptly and efficiently, lor the coming contest and to adopt all honorable means to rescue the Government from the hands of men who have nroved Uiemselves utterly unfit to manage it from their entire want of common sense, common honesty, or of knowledge adapted to Uieir stations; to the end Umt it may be put under the control of men who will act so as best to subscrvo, not their own selfish pur poses, but the interests of tho whole people and Uio honor and welfare of tho State. During tho absence of the committee, R. Hitchock, of Painesville was called for and made a short but spirited address. The following resolutions presented by J. W. Allen, were adopted by acclamation. Jtesolved, Hint John Tyler, oy repeatedly interposing his will against that of the People, as expressed by their Representatives on bills involving no constitutional questions, acts in defiance of the spirit of Uie Constitution as expounded by its makers, and of tho principles of the party that elected him.

" Oh I whiggery, where are thy charms T " where thy consistency ? It would be an endless task, much like Uie work of Sisyphus, to keep up with Uie Loco Focos and correct their thousand lies and misrepresentations. Still it seems incumbent upon ua to some extent to do so, nd we shall not shrink Irom Uie performance of our duty. The above extract is from a letter from Montgom ery county, published in tho Statesman. It hints at the only argument we have yet heard from the Loco Focos, to justify their outrageous attempt to Gerrymander the State, viz : That the Whigs did the same thing in 1632. Byington was the only man in the Legislature who ventured to open his lips in the House, in defence of his infamous bill, and he put it upon the ground Uiatthe Whigs had been guilty of something of the same sort ten years ago. In reply to these charges against the Whigs in 1832, it may be remarked, firstly, Uiat we novor understood before, that any great diasatiefuclion existed in Ihe Ntate with the manner in whicli it was districted at that time. However Uiat may be, it is well known that for several years Uie delegations in Congress from Ohio were largely Jackson, and even as late as 1H38, the Van Burcn party elected eleven of the members, whilst the Whigs secured but eight. These facts of Uiemselves would prove conclusively that there was no effort made in JB3S, by the Whigs to apportion Uie State for party purposes. But in the second place, there was no law of Con gress requiring the State Legislature to lay out Uie listricts in a " compact form and ol " contiguous territory, as at present and Uiough jerrymandering two yeara since would have been wrong in a moral view, it would not have been in open and contemptuous violation of Uio law of tho land, as at present In acting contrary to the act of Congress, the Loco Focos ottomptcd to nullify tho supremo law of the land, obedience to which is the first duty of all a charge that cannot be brought aguiust Uie Legislature of 1KB. But what is a little more conclusive on the subject, and scatters tins semblance of an argument to tho fimr winds of heaven, is the fact 'bat tho Whigs in ilia Icinlnhiro of IK 12 did not district the State. The Whies had Uio majority, it is true, and might exceedingly horrified nt tho "awful effects of havo done it could thev have agreed to net together Iff'! organization." (We stipposo Ihe Statesman and in harmony. But they did not The bill which could copy this wiUiout laughing in his sleeve.) Was it supposed that the Whigs would be deterred from saving Uio State from the flagitious Gerryman dering, because if Uie session was terminated sud denly, other objects might bo defeated ? If any such hopes were entertained, it will havo been seen how futile they were. The groat business of Uie Extra Session, was Uio apportionment of Uie State. After nearly three weeks of bargaining, buying, selling, giving, taking and Tin Panning, the monstrous and iniquitous schemo which was to limit uie Whigs to seven members in the next Congress, was brought forth all conflicting interests were adjusted among Uio aspirants Borlloy, Taylor, Faran, Walton, La-Uiam, and Spanglcr of the Senate, McNulty, Jen kins, Byington, Alc. &c, in Uie House were provided with districts, and the bill was ready to pass not another hour was to be lost by delay. Had the Whigs hesitated, Uie free people of Uie State of Ohio would have been sacrificed upon the altar of Loco Focoism. The deed would have been done ! But Uie Whigs were not to be ensnared by any of the devices of their enomics. They were disposed to accept of Mr. SpangleHa bill, Uiough that did them great injustice. Farther than that thoy could not consent to go. And that is now the question before the people. It is the great question not to be blinked or covered up by side issues. Did the Whigs do rightly to resign, to prevent Uie unexampled injus tice contemplated by Byington's bill ? Did they do wrong, whon they refused their assent to a measure, intended to defraud the people of Ohio out of Uieir rights as freemen ? Did Uicy do wrong in referring Uiis whole matter bock to Uie people again for their decision ? These are the questions to be decided at the ballot boxes ! To Uiat decision, whatever it may be, we shall bow. If the Whigs have erred inUicir endeavors lo protect the people's rights, Uie people themselves will administer Uio proper correctives. If they havo acted as became tho Representatives of a free, intelligent and patriotic constituency, Uiey will bo sustained Let Uiero be no skulking in this matter. Come out, Mr. Statesman, and defend Byington's bill of abominations. The Whigs openly proclaim that they resigned to prevent your consummation of Uiat odious and profligate scheme. They will not shrink from the true issue. Meet them face to face, if you dare ! ' Awful HII.-C1." "Hhndotr.," Ac The Statesman copies an article from the Cincin- Inati Microscope, (which is at the same lime endorsed as " strictly neutral " in its politics,) in which Uie resignation of the Whigs in the Legislature is paint ed in Uio most lugubrious colors. The Microscope Motlest Aunnsnee Sam Mcdary, the Bank Destructive, Uie lying demagogue, Uie supporter of Porr, asks every "reason-able Whig " to examine Uie subject of Uie resignation of tho members of the Legislature, and " with his hand upon his heart say if he can lend his countenance" to the measure and its consequences, the establishment of " mob law." Get out, you scullion ! A modest request, truly. When have you ever before been in Uie habit of treating Whigs as "reasonable " beings, or, indeed, as having any rights in Uie community as Uie citizens of a free country ? The Whig! know what they are about and when they want any of your advice, they will ask for it An Error- Correct It, In a portion of our edition containing Uie proceedings of Uie public meeting in. this city, on Uio evening following Uie resignation of Uie Whig members, Uie name of Jason Stroator, of Portage, is inserted as Isaac Stroator. Mr. Btreator ia too good a Whig to be robbed of one particle of the honor so justly his duo, for his part in preventing the great Loco Foco fraud, and those papers which may copy those proceedings, are requested to make the correction. Jason is Uie right man. FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 111, 1842. SJoures, It docs not appear certainly whether any further attempt will be made on Uie part of Congress, to establish a rate of duties on foreign goods, at the present session, but Uiere is reason to believe from Uie National Intelligencer of Monday, Uiat the prospect of a renewed effort is faint- We are glad to hear this.

KENYON COLLEGE Zakesville, Aug.!), 1812. Mr. EntToR : The position Uiat Ohio holds among her sister Spites, must bo a source of joy and honest pride to her inhabitants. Who can travel through her borders, and not bo impressed with the ides of her present and future gronlncsi ? Her grand natural resources, hor internal improvements, and more Uian all Uie spirit of intelligence Uiat pervades her population, are tho sure and certain signs of her coming glory. Already she ranks as third in the fa mily ot fttaies, and who sa)s that at no instant day, time shall not chronicle her as the first in all things pre-eminent and proudly glorious? Such, Mr. Ed- tor, are Uie thoughts that press uiion tno nnnd ol Uie attentive and enquiring traveller. 1 lor thousand vil lages Uiat seem to huvo sprung up in a night hor benevolent institutions, scattering light and love where all before was darkness and distress, and her numerous colleges and seminines, so useful in disseminating knowledge, and allording such facilities for its acquisition, are subjects that awaken a deep nnd lasting interest in Uio hearts of all Uie philanthropists, and lovers of learning. It has been my good lortune. Air. r.ditnr, to havo visited all or nearly all nf Iho colleges in UiiaStato: and while none may be exceptionable in point of sit uation, and whilo each may havo advantages pecu liarly its own, as it regards siluulion, enilowinont or professional talent, 1 would not by any means in particulatizin; one be considered as disparaging the others. Hut tho pleasure which 1 last week expe rienced at the Annual Commencement of a neigh boring institution Uio politeness and hospitality of tho citizens and Uie quiet loveliness ol Uio spot seem to demand some passing notice though H comes from a traveller and a citizen ol a distant Mate. The Commencement lo which I refer took place at tiambier, whose locality, scenery and beaiitilul ppearance must all be lamiliar lo your readers. Siluau-d in the heart of the Slnto easy of access from all directions secluded as it were Jrom the bustle of Uie world, and yet rich in society of worth and rehnement how inviting to tlio student! With talented and indefatigable Faculty iltwo of whom it may suffice to mention held ProfoiworsliiMi for ears in the united Mstea Military Academy at iVest Point) with a ready access tit libraries con taining 10,000 volumes with tho advantages and discipline ol Literary societies ol long yeara standing, together with neat and comfortable college quarters, what ought not to bo cxpccir-d from the presovering and industrious student ? The tasto and improvements which the lately elected and energetic President has displayed and put into operation during the past year commend themselves t t nnd admiration of all: though not more harmonious, or more beautiful Uinn ih iternal regulations which govern the students wiUi Uieir intercourse wiUi each other, and with Uieir instructors. And hero I may be pcmntlcd to advert to a branch ol the oxislmg system of discipline, which I am unaware of having been adopted by any other liwt'tu'lon in uio Mate The relation ot Patron and Client Every student on becoming a member of Uio Institution, is required to choose an individual from among Uie members of the f aculty, who suaii net tor mm m mo capacity ol Patron, or adviser. To Uiia individual, tho student has access al all umest to ask his advice Uion any inqionant matter to receive any comminiicalion from tho Faculty or to lay before him any grievanco or injury ho may have suffered. Tho advantagus and parental benefits derived from Uiis system are obvious. With regard to the performancce al Uio Commencement they wore all highly complimentary, both to the graduates and Uie liistituliuu. It may perhaps seem invidious to specify individuals by name. But lot merit have its due t and to the Youths who delivered the I'hilnsophicnl Oration, tho Greek passed was a compromise measure between a minor. ity of tho Whigs and a majority ol the Jackson men. On its passage, Uie majority of tho Whigs voted ngainst it and Uio majority of the Jackson party in its favor. So that if thcro was any (lerrymandering done, it ia chiefly to be attributed to the samo party which now stands charged before the pcoplo with Uie slime offence a Uiousand fold aggravated, and this weak endeavor to justify what was designed now by what was effected then, fails of involving Uie Whig party in Uie " fatal precedent" In the paragraph quoted above, ono ot the speak ers is represented lo have contrasted the apportion ment of 1832 with the bill of 1812 If he did so, tho party must hove blushed for Uio difference. Tho labor of passing Uie bill of 18,12, was despatched in thrco days. Tho wholo session lusted but a week, and in liiut tints Uio Stato was districted for Con gress, and apportioned for the election nf members of the General Assembly fifteen other acts and several resolutions, were passed also. e don t be lieve Mr. King contrasted the working disposition nf that Legislature with Uie one Uiat has jost dispersed. The State ratio in 1832, was 4!,257.

Tho others varied somewhat more. The 3d contained 4 1,000; the loth 42,000; the Kith, 511,000; Uie P.lth, 43,000; and the 17th, Columbiana county, contained but 35,000. WiUi this last exception, which was agreed tiin by common consent the most of Uie districts appear to have contained as neur Uio precise amount of population required, as it was possiblo to have given them. Was it ao with Byington's bill ? The district which Mr. King so wittily "dubbed the sea serpent, con tained then a population of 51,551 an excess of 2,- 2115. How was it in Byington's bill? Why, the population was run up to 85,7ti8, and Uie exceas was 12,413! And that too, whilst Uie adjoining district in Byington's bill) was reduced to (17,754, and tho population nf Scioto, 11,1112, would have very noarly equalized the two districts, if that county had been taken off from one and added to Uie omer. Mr. King also " dubbed " the district in which he lives Uio ".UirAiganrmo! Kentucky" district because it was somcUiing " liko two hundred miles lu length, How Mr. King could have altered it for Uie better, the letter writor wisely omits to sny. It was coin posed of Montgomery and Miami counties, which then had a population of 37,058, whilst all Uie re inaindor of Uie district, comprising the larger part of Uio NorUi-Wcat Territory, though nearly " two hundred miles in length" added but 7,5:12 to that number. More Uian half the population, was in Montgomery alone, to wit 21,252 Wo . havo bestowed mora attention upon these quibblcrs Uian they deserve. Still they have merited somo noUce at our hands, becauso what Uiey have said only betrays the weaknesg of Uieir cause, and sets in a stronger light before Uie community, Uie enormous wrongs contemplated by Byington's "6u7 of abominations.9 All wo wo want is an npKrtunity to give tho pcoplo "light" Wo fear nothing for the verdict Uiey will render in October. l'oem, and Uie Valedictory Addresses, I would say goon.

A TRAVELER IIoM lt to ll No Mmtklni! The Loco Foco editors, orators, and leaders are already dodging Ihe question at issue between Uia two parties in the legislature. They soem In know, as if by instinct that their unholy scheme of grrry-mandering will not bear investigation, and that the people will not sustain thorn in their wicked attempt to nullify Uie act of Congress, and to secure two. thirds of Uie delegation in Uie next House of Rep. resentativea whilst the Whiga wero in a mnjnrily of to wt u,uuv in uie oiaio. i ncy us. re not go to uie people in an endeavor to justify that kind of legis! tion.

Our friends will not be caught iu Uiat trap. Nobody knew, until after the resignation of Iho Wings, Uiat Uie two Speakers) had neglected ihoir duty in signing Uio appraisement act It was an nounced in Uio Statesman of Uie Cth inst, (Fri day of last week,) that tho appraisement bill wos a law; it was published in Uiat piper as such; nor was any thing known to Uie contrary, until after the Whiga had left their seats. Iu failure to become a law, ia alone to be attnbutcd to Uie culpable nrgli. gligenco of Uie Loco Focoa and they may divide the responsibility among thetneinacWea as they can hud it most convenient As to the loan bill, it is doubtful whether It would have nsod the Senate at any rate ; but if it would have commanded the assent of Uio tnajority of Uiat body, what exruso can be rendered by the Loco Fo. cos, for its dilatory progress Uirough the two.

If it was, it has been successful. And whose is the responsibility? Who ever thought" exclaims Uiat paper, "Uiat early would bo soon advocate a dissolution of Uie government Who ever thought Uiat our Stato government was to be stopped in order to overthrow Uie dominant party. "If such proceedings be sanctioned by the peo ple, wo may bid good bye to all law, and clasp to our bosoms war and bloodshed such as Uie world never Baw." (Who's going to fight not the Loco Focos ; Uiey'll run first) " Wo understand Uiat this plan above mentioned, was concocted in ono of thoso secret caucuses," (wo use tho Microscope's own ital ics,) "which we adverted to but a day or two ago, viz: Uio Tin-Pan." (All a mistake, Mr. Microscope, although tho Statesman takes your reflections so coolly. Any man who should propose Uie resigns- tion of an office, which was bringing "Mrec dollars a day and roast beef," in tho J'tn-T'an, would be scouted as a renegade and worso Uian an infidel. The tin-ianncni abhor Uiut game, as much as nature dues a vacuum.) Tho Microscope has a good deal more of this ve ry flashy (if not trashy) sort of indignation and finally winds up with some very excellent advico, if Uie Whiga needed it or Uie Loco Focoa were wil ling to take it It ia quite evident that the editor is seriously excited, from Uio confused manner in whicli he gaUicrs up the King's English, and Uie dreadful pictures of blood and anarchy which affect his visual organs. For ourselves, we shall ba much inclined to take his warnings in good part, if ono question can be answered to our satisfaction; and as we do not exchango with his paper, we must commission the Statesman to communicate our inquiry and re port bnck tho answer. Tho M icroscope cannot havo overlooked Uio resolutions that were introduced aim ultaneniisly into the two Houses on Uie very first day of tho session, deliberately pronouncing a law of Congress, as null, void, and of no binding obliga tion, or effect and declaring Uiat Uie Legislature would not be bound by one of iu most important sections, in the transaction of the business for which Uie session was chiefly held, if a departure from the same should be found expedient The Microacoie must also have aeon, that Uiis resolution paased ono House by a strict parity voir I and if it watched Uie reported proceodinga closely, or was in Uio way e)f obtaining private intelligence from Columbus, it may have learned Uiat the only reason why Uio same resolution did not pass the oUior branch, was that one of the political majority faltered in iu support from an apprehension that it might be made Uie instru ment of dividing hia county, or atuching it to some doublo district contrary to hia wishes. No what wo want to know ia this: Whether Uio Microscope saw any danger lo our republican institutions in and mere party influences and measures aa Uicao; and whether, in view of a threatened nullification of law of Congress by t State Legislature, it raited ils warning voico in denunciation of such revolutionary and disorganizing proceedings, and predicted in their success Uio extinction of ordor, and the dissolution of Uio Union ? If it did not, we do not regard its boisterous strictures upon Uie course of Uie resign ing Whigs, a Picayune s inrth !

To the Speaker of tht Senate I Sir: I have received your letter of Uiis date, informing me Unit the Senate of which you are the presiding ollicer, is without a quorum of members ; and Uiat this condition of Uiat body has been produced by a tender of resignation, and wiUidrawal from the chamber, of a sufficient number of membcre to reduce the Scnato to less than two Uiirds of iu whole number. I havo received a communication, also, from tho Stcukor of Uie House of RepreaenlaUves, which advises me that from Uio same causes, that body ia wiUiout a constitutional number of members. You inquire of me whether I would consider such attempt at resignation as creating vacancies, and if so, w hcUier I design to order elecuons to fill said vacancies prior to Uie general election in October next I am informed by your letter, that "tho two Houses are awaiting for my reply, to know what course is propor for Uicin to pursue." If, from any cause whatever, a sufficient number of members M not in attendance to constitute a quo-ruin, it ia very clear Uiat I can nlTlke no official com-municaUon to the remaining members, touching the questions you have suggested, or any other mnttcr of public interest By Uie constitution of Ohio, less than a quorum can sit for the purpose of compelling Uie attendance of aosrnl members, and whether there are such absent members, is obviously a queation which Uio remaining members of oach branch of Uie Legislature must determine for themselves. In the present condition of both branchca, aa it ia not my duty, nor wiUiin my power, to advise, in my official character. Any viows of mine, expressed in reply to your letter, could only be regarded in the light of an individual opinion, and not as a nrrasngo from Uie Executive department and would not, therefore, be regarded by yourself or others, as furnishing to Uiose present any ollicial information, touching Uieir own acUon, in lha present emergency. The right lo resign a scat in tho General Assembly seems to havo been considered, heretofore, rut unquestionable. Whether, however, audi right exists, and if so, in what form it is to be consummated, are questions which Icsa than a quorum may decide for themselves, and must decide, ( should suppose, aa a necessary preliminary lo any coercive measure to compel attendance. From a very hasty, and to myself, by no mcana a satisfactory consideration of Uie subject I should not doubt but that the. Benin mips- tions, so far aa Uiey might affect the personal liberty of those subjected to the action of less Uian a quorum of either branch, niighl bo brought for decision before Uie judicial courta of tho State. In conclusion, I can assure you that when I shall be advised, by any information on which I ahall deem it my duty to act officially, I ahall Uien consider Uie subject more fully, and dntenmno for myself, what course Uie consUtuUon and lawa of the Suto require me to pursue. Very respectfully, Your ohedient servant THOMAS CORWIN. Pnnllo Mentlmenl. We surrender a large portion of our paper to-day lo Uie demonstrations of public sentiment as they come to us Uirough Uie medium of the press, and Uie resolutions of public meetings. We havo the proceodinga of a large and spirited meeting at Chilli-cothe on our fllea for insertion, as also the doings of Iho "TEN THOUSAND" at Xeniaon Saturday, busidea expressions of Ihe Whig press most cordially approving of Uie course of Uio resigning members, which we design also for an insertion as early aa possible. Nothing can be more gratifying than Uie spirit and enthusiasm every where displayed by Uie people, whose righU have been presorved to them by the decisivo and honorable stand taken by Uioso who truly represented Ihem. The dissolution of the Legislature ia every where hilled aa t joyful ovent and cannot fail of being most triumphantly sustained I Msrtt nnsl Wocee llerroe npon norrorl The resignation of offct grows more and inure appalling to Uie Loco Focoa. When the Whiga of the Legislature first resigned Uieir places, the Statesman denounced It as " fifeouionary." Since the oditor has had more time for reflection, and for consultation with book authorities and with his friends, ho discovers Uiat it involves " IVriunn " and " Con-spirary!" "Who'd havo thunk it!" The Sham Mob Mr. Pnrens Rousms-ks. The Statesman of yesterday pretends Uiat our re port of Mr. Furan'a farewell speech ia incorrect, and republishes that part of iu own rejiort, which refers to the crowd at Uie State House, on Thursday morn ing, There is some difference in Uie phraseology, but none in the spirit We have aa much confidence in Uie accuracy of our own reporter as in Uie Statesman's, but nevertheless are willing to give Mr. Fa ran the benefit of the moat favorable construction Uiat can be put upon what ho did say. The following is Uie Statesman's version : " Besides, I would refer lo B proceeding that was witness-, cd by the most of you Uiis morning, and which could not but have caused every Henalor regret who witnessed il. The (feneral Assembly of this Slate, silling in Chillieolhe, selected this plaeo aa a ptopcr one for die Legislature lo hold ils meel-ing ol. It was done under the impression dial Iho LegislaUve functions of die Genera! Assembly could be hero coudocled in peace, and without interruplion. Whether Ibis has been accomplished, is a matter of doubt. An ollicer of Uiis Gen- cral Assembly, in die discharge of an order properly directed to him, hus been insulted by a mob in die eapitol of Ohio, while some of die ciliseiu of Ibis place gave apparent countenance lo the disorderly proceeding. If die legitimate functions of eidicr branch cannot be carried on ill this place, without being disturbed by mobs ) or if the legitimate orders of either branch - lirecled to the proier ollicer, cumiul no execuicu wiuioui ine . ifbrcr bcine- insulted and assailed bv a mob, it is then hieh lime lo iiiiniire tvhethur another place should not bo asserted for the seal of Government. This will have to be determined by a future Legislature." We perceive nothing in the above that differs es sentially from the quotation in our article of Tues- ay on Uus subjoct Wo have nothing to retract therefore. There was no mot, we assert again no attempt to frustrate Uie Sergeant at Arms in the discharge of his duty no exhibition of angry feel ings. There was a crowd, composed of all parlies, assembled for tho purpose of witnessing Uio proceed- . ings of tlio two Houses, which were expected to meet without a quorum. Nobody had anticipated Uie issue of the Speaker's warrant, or of iu service upon the resigning members, at that particular moment and place. The motive for Uio assembling of so many of our citizens, was as innocent as "mere curiosity could innke it At Uie hour of the meeting of the members, after tlio service of the Spoakcr'e writ, Ihe lobby and gallery of tho House were filled to over flowing, but Uio most perfect order was obsorvod by all present so that the remarks of Uie members and farewell address of the Speukor were heard wiUi the most entire distinctness. As soon as the adjournment took place, all dispersed again in a quiet or- ' derly, and peaceable mnnner. The pretence that Uiero was any mob, or violence of any aort, apparently countenanced by some of the citizens of this place, ' is preposterous, Bnd undeserving of notice, further than to show to what miserable expedicnU our oppo- ncnu arc reduced, and to what contemptible artifices they arc ready to stoop, to create a prejudice against Uie people of Columbus. What is Uie reason Uie Statesman takes no notice of the " mob " or rem which occurred on Friday morning, in Uie street at Uio American? Does it suppress it from the fact that it was confined exclusively to the Loco Focos themselves that a conspic uous member of Uie House, of its party, had hia nose wrung that a pistol waa produced, which had a most wonderfully tranquillizing effect upon the twenty or thirty conibatnnU engaged in a manful assault upon one man, etc. &c. That was Uie most " mob " like scene that we havo witnessed in Uie city, and we should think its details worthy a place in the columns of the Statesman, instead of its labored cfforU to provel Uiero was a " mob " where nobody suspected one, until Mr. Speaker Faran had conjured it up! Ohio lliorke. The intelligence Uiat the bill to auUiorize a new loan of $800,000, at a rate of interest which bank-' mpu only can offer, had passed one branch of Uie Legislature, had Uie effect upon the New York mnr- , kct which every one anticipated, who knew any thing about Uie condition of Uie market Ohio sixes which had been previously autionary at 711, fell off at once on Saturday to 70i. When it ia known at the city, that the bill did not become a law we are in hopes . our stocks will revivo again. The following is from Uie money article of the N. Y. Express on Monday: Mouer .Hnr&tel City Now. Saturday, P. M. The falling off in the customs within Uie lost month has been most appalling, and will when known at Washington, have a deep and abiding enect The rcccipu at Uiis custom house for the month of July, we are informed from a source in which we are as- " suretl is entitled to entire confidence, was only about two hundred thousand dollars. This comparaUvely small sum is tho receipt of ono month in the great port of Now York, where two-thirds, or fourteen of the twenty-one millions of dollars, have been Uio yearly collections from customs alone. If this is a lair portion ol Uie collections in other ports, Uien the rcccipu for July, throughout the country have been but three hundred Uiousand dollars, or about three and a half millions a year. It cannot be possible that Uiis small amount can be the pro rata portion of Uie whole receipts for twelve months; for we can easily conceive that merchanla and importers have been cautious how they introduced goods during Uie first month of tho new tariff, nevertheless it is a strong and marked change, and one that must be telt 1 no reduction ot Uie Unit to twenty per cent with tho admission of tea, coffee, and numberless other important articles free, has no doubt been Ihe cause ot Uus sudden and extraordinary lulling off in tho rcccipu of the public revenue, and ahould the mor.Uis ot August and Soptember compare in any respect to Uiat of July, the estimntoa of the Secretary of tho Treasury and of Uio Committee of Ways and Means will be altogether deficient and of no practical value. In addition to Uiis sudden diminution of recoipU Uiero will soon bo very heavy rails on the Treasury in Uie shape of debentures, aa very many articles will be exported for Uie benefit of drawback, somo of which will be again introduced at tho lower duty. Nothing is easier than to send brandies, gin, AVc. ie, to St Johns, Bermuda, or any neighboring foreign port, and to bring the samo hack for tho benefit of the difference in Uie duty. The time occupied would be small, and at the present low rate of freights tho expenso would be trifling.Except a general fall in etocka, to-day, Wall street is very quiet indeed. There is no domand for flour; the tendency ia downward, and Ihe settled opinion is, Uiat it will g.j to five dollars, although it stands now at (5,I2i and !5.25. The Aloney Market ia very abundant and the offerings at Bank very small. Within the last ten days there have been several failures of Houses that have stood high. A stoppage now seems to excite no attention whatever. The fall in Ohio Stocks is probably to be attributed to the action of the Ohio Legislature, authorizing a loan of 8800,000 10 nor cent, which will doubtlexs be sent to the market fur negotiation. We annex an extract from the money article of tho N. Y. Plcbian, (a rabid Loco Foco Dorrite paper) of Monday's date, ahowing what might have been Uie result had tho new loan bill become a law. " In State Stocks tho sales were limited and tl,a fluctuations not important excepting in Ohio sixca, which loll off 3 per cent; at this rate Uie stock of ItKiU, pays about IUi a 11 percent interest This fall was occasioned by a vote of Uie Ohio Loeieli. turn, to mako a new initio of a ten per cent stock to tno amount ni ijrHni.lHju. i he attempt will doubtless be made to negotiate it in this market but we ahould aupposo our moneyed men would look shy at Uie so. entities of states paying tat per cent for money. It Btunus on uiat line nui-iiiH, to issue bo targe an amount of new stock and at ao high a rate of interest ia very impolitic and must result in the depression of Uie Sixes to Uie lowest point of last summer, 50.

The JerrynsnMslerero, The efforts of the (.'(rrii!ticrrr to manufacture indignation against Uio retiring members, prosper but feebly. Tho people know and the rank and lie of Uieir own party know Uiat the Loco Focos went detected in a paltry, pitiful, rascally and underhanded business that Uie biters got bit and those v- ho am not pleased will. Ihe disappointment of their pip. litical expectauons, cannot deny its rigid jusUce. It I will servo for an example to all future time.
